#676 Re: Installation » Install minimal X Server with nouveau » 2020-04-07 10:06:13

The driver modules should be ok, I would edit the xorg.conf...

where it says vesa, change it to nouveau.

...
        #Option     "DRI"                	# <i>
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "vesa"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
...

it has fallen back on to the vesa driver, but the nouveau module is loaded.

Thank you aus9, I did that (both /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf and /etc/asound) and it worked/s quite well. Finally Pulse free and plenty of noise when I want it. :-)

Thank you

#679 Re: Installation » Experiences with Beowulf Beta Desktop Iso » 2020-03-28 10:48:03

I managed to get it running off the 64bit iso.
Installed KDE to a SSD. I also installed it to a spinning hd, stock standard xfce4.

I saw errors at the install of grub attempt and the installs were aborted.
I eventually deleted /boot and the efi partition. and re-partitioned the space for /boot , the install went through without a hitch.
That was when I decided to try that process on the Hdd, and it worked as well.

I setup the iwlwifi after boot, installed some other programs and the ssd system is just about where I was.
I usually install proprietary nVidia graphics driver, and steam games. I might do that later.

Thanks for the opportunity, I like Beowulf.

#680 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Nvidia warning at boot #2 » 2020-03-25 23:48:32

Hi, I blacklist the nouveau driver, for the proprietary driver install with this in the grub line...

nokmsboot nouveau.modeset=0

I leave it there after install, but i still see the module has loaded with lsmod, but it doesn't seem to create any problems.

anyhow, it may help ...

#681 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved ]Mainboard ASUS with AMD Ryzen 3: root device not found » 2020-03-15 23:49:55

I have read that some newer firmware packages, I personally am using a git clone... that they require a late bios version. Not mentioned here... I hope it helps.

I've come this path to install a wireless card that is not supported in 4.09 kernel, which required me to install backport kernel 4.19.

One other thing, it's my understanding that uuid is most useful for systems that swap hardware frequently, and is better for security (booting).
Otherwise, I have found in a pinch that /dev/sd(x)(n) works fine.

#682 Re: Documentation » Multiple Sound Cards » 2020-03-06 12:03:21

Thanks, this has helped me too. :-)

cat /proc/asound/cards

I want the usb device to be the one, but the hdmi is always there, very quietly. Thank you

#685 Re: Off-topic » What other distro are you using (besides devuan)? » 2019-07-23 09:46:29

I've just jumped from PcLinuxOs myself, to other non-systemd Os's.
FreeBSD-12 & Devuan-ascii (of course) I'm trialing artix64 on my asus R550() laptop , using openrc.
